Abstract

The resonance absorption of femtosecond pulses by liquid droplets is studied. The angular dependence of the laser absorption may be used to understand the symmetric double-lobe emission of hot electrons generated from liquid droplets. The total laser absorption fraction is found to be strongly related to the scale length of the microplasmas.
